@bentossell@rrhoover Ryan, completely understand that specific use-case for Siri; in fact I use Alexa for similar use cases, i.e. near-term, time-sensitive reminders e.g. turn off oven in 45 min.
Like Ben said, where I realized I'd never end up using Siri/Alexa were:
(1) recurring tasks, where I need a gentle friendly nudge, e.g.
-- call my grandpa every Sunday
-- take vitamins everyday
(2) the endless heap of tasks that would get lost in my notepad abyss, e.g.
-- return amazon item in 30 days
-- follow up with a friend in 2 weeks
-- send marketing docs to colleague at 9am Thursday
Plus,
-- I like more conversational flexibility in my snooze options (e.g. snooze for 3 days), which I don't get with Siri.
-- I also do prefer the non-intrusive messaging interface over a voice one, especially as it allows me to enter tasks even in environments such as meetings, but I realize that may be a personal preference :)
As a friend said to me after using Reminders, it's helped make tasks feel "less like an enemy and more like a friend"!
